I have purchased two vehicles from this dealership under its former ownership, Car Pros Kia Huntington Beach. I was preparing to purchase my third vehicle, a Kia Sorento Hybrid SX Prestige, when I experienc its former ownership, Car Pros Kia Huntington Beach. I was preparing to purchase my third vehicle, a Kia Sorento Hybrid SX Prestige, when I experienced the most offensive and unprofessional sales interaction I have ever encountered. On October 17, 2026, while negotiating with someone representing Sutherlin Kia Huntington Beach, I received a barrage of increasingly inappropriate text messages after refusing to pay for unwanted dealer-installed accessories. The messages included: "Are you high man?" "Your brain is invisible" "Stop being Jew and come down here" "And we usually give some happy ending at the end" "Do you like lollipop?" These are VERBATIM quotes from the text conversation. I have preserved screenshots documenting the exchange. The antisemitic remark and sexually suggestive messages were shocking, particularly coming from someone attempting to sell me a vehicle costing approximately $40,000. I subsequently escalated the matter through the dealership's website, where owner and CEO Brett Sutherlin publicly promises customers respect, honesty, and exceptional service. The general manager called me afterward and claimed that nobody from the dealership had called me. Rather than receiving an explanation of the disturbing messages, I was left questioning whether management was taking my complaint seriously. I was a repeat customer, prepared to purchase another vehicle at the advertised price without unwanted accessories. Instead, I encountered offensive messages and a deeply disappointing management response. This review concerns Sutherlin Kia Huntington Beach under its NEW ownership, not the previous Car Pros ownership. I am documenting this experience so prospective customers can make informed decisions about where they purchase their vehicles. I have retained the original text messages and am prepared to provide them to the BBB for verification. More

I contacted Sutherlin Car Pros Kia Huntington Beach because my family was looking to purchase and lease three vehicles, and I was gathering the information needed to move forward. I worked directly wit because my family was looking to purchase and lease three vehicles, and I was gathering the information needed to move forward. I worked directly with J. Franco, Sales Manager. While some pricing information was provided, many of my specific questions and several requested numbers were never answered. Instead, there was repeated pressure to come into the dealership. I used AI to organize my questions so they would be clear, thorough, and easy to answer. Rather than addressing those questions, the conversation shifted to my use of AI. It was also communicated that the dealership was not interested in competing with other dealerships on pricing or terms. Considering my family was prepared to purchase or lease three vehicles, I was surprised by the lack of interest in earning our business. As an informed woman who came prepared with clear questions, I expected transparency, professionalism, and respectful communication. Instead, I encountered unnecessary resistance to answering straightforward questions. I hope management reviews how informed customers are treated and recognizes that providing direct, complete answers is an important part of earning trust and business. More

Another Kia dealership diagnosed the issue: the coolant reservoir cap had been left off during my service—no other problems found. A completely preventable error. This cost me $750 in repairs and a rental car. Car Pros refused to reimburse anything. Mistakes happen—but refusing to take responsibility is unacceptable. I expected better from an authorized Kia service center. More
